    Because I can?

    I don't care if they change their logo, just think the reasoning behind it is stupid. So, I care about stupidity 😁

        The image most of us UND fans have of Holy Cross is that of a saint, possibly a major prophet, so a knight is not likely to offend.

          I personally found the image to be triggering, and I think the NCAA should press the school to change its name due to it glorifying violence against Muslims.

            So if Yale is truly Dummer...
            does that make Harvard Dumbest?

                I once took a public tour of Yale, and this is the same story they told us.

                    A knight does not = crusader. Not all knights were crusaders and not all crusaders were knights. When I think of the word knight, the second thing that comes to mind is a powerful and skillful warrior from the middle ages. How many people really even know what the crusades were? In the grand scheme of history, they are but a footnote to the vast majority of people. FYI The first thing that comes to mind for me is Hillary.

                        When I think of knights I picture migrating coconuts.

                        Muslims usually express their concerns to you?

                            WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) -- The College of the Holy Cross says it will stop using the image of a knight as a logo and mascot even though trustees last month decided to keep the nickname Crusaders for its athletic teams.
                            The president of the Worcester (WUS'-tur), Massachusetts, Jesuit college, the Rev. Philip Boroughs, wrote in a letter to students, alumni and staff Wednesday the depiction of a knight with the moniker Crusader is an inevitable reminder of the religious wars and violence that marked the Crusades.
                            Boroughs says such imagery "stands in contrast" to the college's stated values" but notes the word "crusader," in its modern sense, means someone who stands for positive principles.
                            In place of a knight, Holy Cross will use an interlocking HC on a purple shield as its primary logo.
                            Beyond absurd and pathetic.

                              We're all offended by something, you just have to not get all bent out of shape over it. Control what you can control.

                                Sure, but pair the name "Crusader" with an image of a knight and it kind of does evoke the image of the Crusades.
